A29L008A Series
device is ready to read array data or accept another
command.
The sector erase architecture allows memory sectors to be
erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data
contents of other sectors. The A29L008A is fully erased
when shipped from the factory.
The hardware sector protection feature disables operations
for both program and erase in any combination of the
sectors of memory. This can be achieved via programming
equipment.
The Erase Suspend/Erase Resume feature enables the user
to put erase on hold for any period of time to read data from,
or program data to, any other sector that is not selected for
erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.
The hardware
RESET
pin terminates any operation in
progress and resets the internal state machine to reading
array data. The
RESET
pin may be tied to the system reset
circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the device,
enabling the system microprocessor to read the boot-up
firmware from the Flash memory.
The device offers two power-saving features. When
addresses have been stable for a specified amount of time,
the device enters the automatic sleep mode. The system can
also place the device into the standby mode. Power
consumption is greatly reduced in both these modes.
